Fatigue is a dominant failure mechanism of several engineering components. One
technique for increasing the fatigue life is by inducing surface residual stress to inhibit crack …

The surface characteristics and microstructure of a [100]-oriented single crystal superalloy
subjected to ultrasonic shot peening (USP) were investigated as a function of peening …

This work investigated the corrosion behavior of laser powder bed fusion produced
(LPBFed) Ti5Cu and its heat-treated counterparts at 740 and 900° C (named as HT-740 and …

In this study, a gradient nanostructured GH4169 superalloy was prepared by ultrasonic
surface rolling process (USRP), and the fretting fatigue resistance was investigated at …

Additive manufacturing (AM) holds great promise for delivering benefits in repair of
aerospace components. To fully exploit the benefits of AM, it is crucial to demonstrate that …

Internal and surface imperfections are known to reduce the fatigue strength of parts
fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). Post-treatment can play a key role to …

Gas turbine components are often shot-peened to improve surface integrity and fatigue
capability. Compressive Residual Stress (CRS) and increased surface hardness are the key …

A strong interface and microstructure design is the key to the development of the ceramics/Al
composites with high strength-ductility synergy. This work aims to manipulate the interface …

A number of surface modification processes have been developed over the past decades.
Depending on the application in industry, different processes are selected to meet the …
